Today’s quick tech tip….
How to instantly select ALL items at once
If you’ve been using computers for a while you probably know that you can click (or double-click) on an item to select it. Once selected, you can Copy the item, Cut it, or perform some other action on it.
What’s more, you probably know how to use your computer’s keyboard and mouse to select multiple items at the same time.
But did you know there’s an easy way to instantly select every item on a page or inside a File Explorer window in one fell swoop?
If you have a Windows PC simply press the Ctrl+A key combination.
Have a Mac? You’ll need to press Command+A instead.
After you press the appropriate key combination you’ll see that every item is now selected, waiting for you to do your Copy, Cut or whatever action you want to take on the items.
